European frogbit is an invasive floating plant from Europe that can form dense patches that limit recreation and disturb the ecology of waterbodies by displacing and outcompeting native species. Frogbit is easily spread by watercraft and has been popping up around the Upper Susquehanna Watershed in recent years. Join CRISP, the CR-PRISM, and OCCA in pulling frogbit at Weaver and Summit Lake in Otsego County. Participants are encouraged to bring their own watercraft, however, canoes will be available if needed. Be prepared to get muddy! Due to limited parking at the sites participants will meet at the OCCA office at 7207 NY-80, Cooperstown, NY 13326 and carpool to Weaver and Summit Lakes (~10mins away). |
